Buttermilk as a Drink.

A great physician once said that if every one knew the value of buttermilk as a drink it would be more freely par taken of by persons who drink so ex- cessively of other beverages, and further compared its effects upon the system, to the cleaning out of cook stove that has been clogged up with ashes that have eifted through, filling every crevice and crack, saying that the human system is like the stove, and collects and gathers refuse matter that can in no way be ex- terminated from the system so effectrlally as by drinking buttermilk. It is also a remedy for indigestion, soothes and quiets the nerves, and is very .omnolent to those who are troubled with sleepless- ness. Its medicinal qualities cannot be overrated, and it should be freely used by all who can get it. Every one who val ues good health should drink buttermilk every day in warm weather and let tea, coffee and water alone. For the benefit of those who are not already aware of it, I may add tsat in the churning of it, the first process of digestion is gone through, making it one of the easiest and quickest of all things to digest. It makes gastric juice. and contains properties that read fly assimilate with it, with very little wear upon the digestive organs.-Hall's s Journal of Health.

A New York Book Agent.

X distinguished belle is a book agent, and she has in ten or twelve days made herself singlllarly famous down town. Her method is a marvel of skill, aided by natural advantage. The latter consists of the ability to shed tears at will. I don't know how she does it, but she does. At precisely the time and place for tears to be of value they drop from her. eyes and trickle down her cheeks. Perhaps there is something the matter with her tear ducts, but if there is, doubt if she would care to be cured. She has been fooling the brokers .especi- ally. She enters an office quietly but firmly, and, with no circumlocution, tells the boss that she wishes him to buy a book. He says no, unhesitatingly and perhaps grossly. Then she turns on the tears.
 What's the matter?' he asks
 ''Oh, nothing of any consequence, y she replies, making toward the door.
 But he sympathetically begs her to voice her grief; whereupon she tells that she has been unable to sell a book that day, that her poor old mother is depen- dent upon her, and that she is down. right discouraged He purchases one or more books instantly, and does not learn until several days later, by chance, that she has played the same softening game on nearly the whole street.-'EUncls Bill in Chicago Herald.

The Hotels Of Java.

The hotels in Java are net the best in the world, while their cooking is certainly the worst. A cup of coffee is brought by your room boy whenever you awake, and at 9 there is Breakfast in the dining room. It consists of two cold boiled eggs cooked the night before, slices of bologna sausage and cheese, and bread and butter, and in order to have everything to match" the coffee is cold. An hour before tiffin decanters of gin and bitters are placed op the veranda, and every one helps himself a son gre, some taking half dozen glasses, either because it is free or be- cause the coming meal is so poor that the system demands a great amount of for tifying to meet it.
 A o'clock bell announces tiffin, but it isn't good form to go at once, and if one did the viands wouldn't be any hotter The first dish served is rice, which is put into deep soup plate, and then six or eight other dishes are presented in quick succession, of each of which spoonful is put on the rice and the whole is then stirred vigorously and eaten in luke warm state. The number and variety of edibles mixed and mangled in that rice ulSn are mofe WonuerIu than tempting. Later beefsteak and potatoes in tiny DOT tions, tough and greasy, are served, and then follow plenty of fruits and cup of excellent coffee. So ends the ''rice meal, ? as it is called. The dinner is always at 8 o'clock, even in t'r remotest country hotel, and the viands are always cold and covered with thin coating of grease. And the course that precedes the roast is always warm with stewed fruit.-Batavia Letter.

The Trouble With old Virginia.


 Gen. Imboden, the noted Confederate leader, is in the employ of the treasury department as an expert on the subject of the natural resources and transporta- ton in Virginia. He has just completed an exhaustive report on the manufactures and trade of the Old Dominion. Ran dolph Tucker, after reading Gen. Imbo- den's report, told story which, he said, explained why Virginia had not made more progress in business"
 ''One day in the house, said he, Bragg of Wisconsin told me the secret of our backwardness. He said that in war time he was marching toward Gull pepper, and on the road met an old clergyman. Thepoor fellow was ragged, unshaven, and terrible seedy. Bragg stopped him and asked how far it was to Culpepper.
 q Two miles, sir, said the minister. Well, said Bragg, is it much of a town?'
 q No; it is not very big town, re- piled the clergyman; and then, with a frightening of the eyes and proud stiff ening of his long, thin frame, he added, But, sir, Gen. Washington once had hia headquarters there.
 That, to MT. Fuckers mind, shows why Virginia does not go ahead. She clings too closely to traditions and mem ories of the past.-N. Y. Sun.

TAMERs OF THE GROUND.

There Is conquest of force in tanning the horse Till he brooks to be driven and bound, But prouder by far the victories are Of the men who tame the ground Who tame the ground and it's willful powers, And determine the work it must do, Till it leaves it's own and executes ours, With obedience doci'e and true. For they are trie worxers together with God In maturing the earth to his plan, And in teaching her dull and unmeaning sod To glow with the thinking of man Who compel her rude life to surrender the wold, The marsh and the jungle to yield To him who can out of her deserts unfold The wealth of the fruit bearing field Delights there may be on the restless sea, Though treaeherous, barren and bare; But the grateful land ever blesses the hand That tends it with wisdom and care. Then health to the heroes who tame the ground And hold it in bountifui thrail, For they lap the earth with their conquests
 around,
 Enriching, benignaut to all.

Teeth and Physical Condition.

In recent address on dental surgery Sir James Paget dwells upon the high functions of the molars, which, he says, stand half way between the dead and the living that is to say, between the food to be consumed and the tissues formed by it. Upon them depends very greatly the character which will be given to those tis- sues. In other words, the mode in which we masticate has an appreciable effect upon our future physical condition.

Gladstone is believed to take at every piece of meat which he consumes may have had to do with his bodily sys- tenn, and hence, by no means indirectly, with the Irish question: r'-Medical Record

A HOTEL OF LONG AGO.
Arrangement of the Rooms-Under the
 Shelves-The Hearth.

Arrangement
 Shelves-The Hearth.
 In 1907 William Hodge, ST., built an addition to his log house in Buffalo and established tavern. about which his son, William Hodge, wrote thus: ''This noble mansion consisted of two rooms on the lower floor, with a wide hall between 1 them. It had battened doors, naked peeled beams and windows of by 9 glass. The north room was used as parlor, sitting room, main kitchen and dining room. The south room was the more public one. There the eye was caught by large black letters on an un- painted door, telling the visitor to Walk in, and there too was the latch string, hanging on the outer side of the door. This room also contained the bar, which was partitioned off ill one corner.
 ''Under the shelves stood the whisky and cider barrels, and on them were the kegs of brandy, rum and gin, and one or two kinds of wine, as Madeira and port. Maybe there was also there a keg of shrub or peppermint cordial, and occa- sionally one of metheglin. Sometimes, in the proper season, the bar would contain barrel of spruce beer, home made, of course. There was no lager beer in those days. The sugar box and money drawer wee made to slide under the front co,ln- ter board. Tie Tie white sugar then used came in high, tapering, solid cakes called sugar loaves, done up in coarse crown or black paper. A few may yet be seen. The liquors sold at the bar were always measured out in the wine glass and gill cup, or in larger quantities when desired.
 ''Cider was sold by the pint or quart, red peppers being added; and in cold weather it was set upon coals and embers to heat. The mixed drinks furnished at | the bar were termed 'slings, and were made of sugar water and brandy, rum or | gin, well stirred with the sugar stick. , Hot slings were made the same way, ex- cept that hot iron was put in, to temper them, a slight sprinkling of nutmeg be- ing regularly added. A sangaree' was made in the same way, using wine. in- stead of the stronger liquors. Nearly all were as much in the habit of using these different kinds of liquors as beverages as people now are of usmg tea, coffee and even milk.
 ''The fireplace in the barroom and that in the north room were without 'jambs' the chimneys being built with split sticks and plastered. That ill the north room was furnished with a 'trammel pole and 'trammeP with hooks to match, for hanging kettles, etc., over the fire, The hearths were made of stones gathered from the fields. The chamber rooms were used for sleeping purposes. An ad dition built on the east side of the bar room was used as a back kitchen and wash room. It had a sloping roof, being 'lean-to.' The fireplace was built 1T one corner of it, and the chimney ant hearth were of the same materials as thost in thcothe rooms ''-D Detroit Free Press

Breecn Loading Small Arms.

All breech loading small arms have either a fixed chamber or movable chamber. All of this latter class are deemed obsolete; they embrace the fol- lowing named rifles: The Burnside, the Hall, the Sleeper, the Worren. All fixed chambered small arms have either a movable barrel or movable breech block. Those having movable barrel either slide or rotate. They are Gardner's repeater, the Gallagher, the PrussiM needle carbine, the Maynard, the Wohlge- muth and all old pattern revolvers like Colts, the Scott and the Helm. The sec ond classification of fixed chambered breech loading small arms-that is those having movable breech block-is very much more numerous. Some are closed by sliding; one, the Ballard, by sliding and rotating; the rest by rotating about an axis. Three sorts are thus indicated.
 The first sort includes the following, all ofwhich have concealed locks, The Prus- sian needle gun, Dreyse' simproved needle gun, Chassepot, Ward Burton, Mal.ssr, Vetterlin, Greene, Milbank and the L<e. The Van Choate, Joslyn-Tomes and Mer- Till are also bolt guns, but have outside locks. Then come those moved by levers; The Morse, Merrill, rnekov-Greene, Winchester, Stetson, Burgess, Beals and Rumsey. The slide of the Sharp's rifle is vertical. The next sort of rifles in- cludes those whose breech blocks rotate about an axis either parallel to the axis of the barrel or at 90 degs. to the axis of i the barrel. These are the Werndl, Shy der, Warner, Shell, Joslyn, Earnest, Free man, MISauk, Broughton.

Learning to Ely.

In flying, as in bicycle riding, the points of greatest difficulty are the start ing and the stopping. Professor Hyatt describes in an interesting manner the first lesson of a tame kittiwake gull. After a long probation in trying his wings, at last several times in calm weather he flew as high as the after rail- about a foot, and lighted upon it, but made no effort to go overheard. Finally, on a calm day, he was placed in the water, but he showed great terror, swim ming close to the boat, and was soon taken in again.
 He did not seem to become accustomed to the water until he had reached Annis- quam and had acquired considerable powers of flight. evidently preferring his bath in bucket. He appeared to be ter rified also when first bathed in bucket, but when placed in a basin, where he could stand with his feet on the bottom, took much pleasure in bathing.
 After-he became more accustomed to the Mater. the bucket was again brought into use, and then it was successful. The wide e3panse of the sea or the absence of foothold seemed to fill him with terror.
 He made no efforts toward prolonged flight until one day, after our return to Annisquam, took him to the door and threw him gently from an elevation of about ten feet. Instead of flying slowly to the ground, as had anticipated, the bird sailed off hundred feet at least, turned, flew back over the house and through the trees, avoiding obstacles and soaring with perfect ease and very swift motion round and round the area of the house.
 Very soon, however, he began to ap- proach close to me and scream as if in distress. It was evident that he was tired and wished to alight, but did not know how to stop.
 Finally, by suddenly throwing up my arms as he came toward me, succeeded in arresting him; and he literally tumbled against me and fell on the ground. His excitement was very great, and would have started again of his own accord, if had not held and quieted him. He was wild with delight.
 I started him again when rested, and precisely the same scene was re-enacted; and he did not learn to alight by himself until after several flights.

Color J3lindpess

Conclusions as to color blindness may be reached too preeipitately. A wrong judgment in colors may be occasioned by the effect of simultaneous contact, or the effect of one color on another on the retina of the eye. Thus green in the vicinity of white will appear under artifi- cial light a dark gray; but for so pro- nouncing it one is not to be convicted of color blindness. Philadelphia Call.
